Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water and vegetable oil. Mix with a fork until the dough starts to come together.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Divide the Dough

    After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

  2. 6

    Roll Out the Tortillas

    On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.

  3. 7

    Cook the Tortillas

    Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30-60 seconds on each side, or until they are lightly browned and cooked through.

  4. 8

    Keep Warm

    Place the cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
